Our call time was a very early 9:30. Gaga and I left dressed to the nines, you know incase we got some screen time or anyone asked us to accept an award because George Clooney was not attending. I had wanted to take a before picture, but someone had their galloshes on before I could get the soap out of my hair.
I have to say that this was a very surreal experience, yes, it was a lot of waiting, waiting made better with coffee, pastries, free make overs, massages, and photo booths. It was weird to actually be there, It felt sometimes unreal.
We did have a lot of time with the foreign press before the main event, who had some pretty amazing dresses themselves. When the magic hour hit, it was a flood of movie stars, and fortunately we had a front and center seat to all of the interviews, therefore a lot of great pictures. If.... the woman in front of me didn't have her mall hair bangs waving in the wind. Non bang hair cameo photos to follow with a link to flickr. We saw everybody. Brangelina, Cate Blanchet, Jared Leto, Jennifer Lawerence, Bette, Lupita, Bradley. Yes, we are now on a first name basis.
After the red carpet was over we headed over to the El Capitan to watch the broadcast, but after a few awards we decided that our magical day had come to an end. We loaded up our 2 ton gift bags and walked to the Roosevelt to take a cab back to the house. Sadly all the cabs were too far away, and with some academy award winning acting of our own, we ended up taking the hotel's towncar back. Truly a magical day.
